    Speaking of bush hogs...

    I had one on my lawnmower this year same way. I never had one I could not get off but this one would not even move with an impact wrench. Went to the neighbors and borrowed his torch, put a little heat to it and it finally broke loose. I thought I was going to have to cut it off as well. Finally...

    Need tips on flushing a gas tank

    I had the same problem. When I bought mine it had sat up for a while with a small amount of gas and the inside had what looked like chewing tobacco in it that kept clogging my lines. Finally found what was going on tried to flush but could not get it all out. I finally took the tank off and went...

    Value of seized Ford 2000

    I too have a ford 2000 that seized a couple of years ago due to a sheared pin on the oil pump. I was working outside in the sun and did not see the idiot light come on (would rather have a regular gage) and like an idiot locked mine up. Set me back $1,800 to replace oil pump, turn crank, new...

    Temp gage

    I grounded the wire with the key on and the gage did not move. It got dark so had to quit until tomorrow. I hope I do not have to buy that whole instrument panel because my tractor has an alternator on it so the RPM doesn't work anyway. It is an old tractor and suits what I need. I would like...

    Temp gage

    I posted and found out I have a 1966 ford 2000 from the numbers I sent in. Last year I replaced the temp sending unit and the gage worked fine all year. This year the gage is not working so I shut the tractor off. I checked the wiring due to squirrels and the wire was fine. Is there a way to...

    decent micrometer?

    I have been machining or in the machining trade for 30 years. All my micrometers are Brown and Sharp and I never have had any trouble with them. They should come with a standard to check them against. I would measure a crank with a micrometer rather than a dial caliper. I have both but for...

    Possible 3000 purchase

    I have a 66 2000 with the 4 speed tranny and it has done everything I have needed so far. I would like to have more gears but so far it has been ok. Buddy

    Tractor serial number

    Thanks for the answer. The tractor is in great shape now (I had to do some work on it such as changing carburator,fuel pump and cleaning the tank)but run good now and will do what I need it for. Disapointed that the company I bought it from told me it was a 1968 but I guess 2 years on something...

    Tractor serial number

    I have looked up the serial numbers on a 1968 Ford 2000 which is what I was told when I bought mine but would like to no more information. On the transmission where the serial numbers are mine has 1042A and up under that it looks like C1320386C17. The last three digits are not very clear so I...

    Bush Hog

    Bought a five foot KingKutter used bushhog yesterday. Cutter is in good shape with no leaks around the gear box. Minor surface rust on top of the deck from being outside which I am going to clean and put a coat of paint on. I think the cutter is about 5 or 6 years old not sure. Been sitting...

    Here is what y'all have been helping me with

    I don't even let my son drive mine without me present. Matter of fact except my wife no-one has driven mine and she only drove it once around the yard. I am real particular about all my tools and vehicles anyway. My wife laughs because after I use the tractor and it is real dusty I always wash...

    Install oil pressure gage

    How do you install an oil pressure gage. I have a 1968 Ford 2000 3 cyl. gas tractor. I would rather have the gage than the idiot light. I would like to know what the pressure is rather than have the light come on and tell me there is a problem which might be to late.

    My $1200 Ford 2000 gas

    Great deal, the implements were probably worth more than that. I got a 68 Ford 2000 and paid twice that just for the tractor about three years ago.

    Ford 3000 YT zenith carb replacement problems

    I put a Zenith on my 2000 but I also changed the fuel pump and cleaned all the lines. Only adjustment I had to make was on the govenor. It wanted to surge when running. Been two years and so far still runs good. My fuel pump screen also looked like a beach so I went ahead and replaced it and...
